the generations and the blues

That's a really nice story about a musical friendship, showing how the young/old, black/white differences don't really need to amount to much. Also that bluesmen can be nicely dressed, wearing suits and ties if they want. I wouldn't have minded if the video had gone on a lot longer. (I especially enjoyed it because I had been under the misapprehension that Jeremiah was a bullfrog.)

Thank you for sharing this. I've been staring at this edit window for awhile now, can't really think of anything worthy to say about this, without sounding presumptuous or glib. So I'm just going write down exactly what I felt when I watched this, verbatim. Forgive my seeming pretense, it's truly not intended.
You can feel it in your bones
way down deep.
The beats and the notes
and the words too;
they seep
right out of you like sweatin'
or cryin'.
I know this like I know laughter, and ache--
because I can feel it too.
Makes me wanna quit my job and go play the blues till I die. Thank you again for sharing this.

Jeremiah is pictured playing the washboard with shotgun shells on his fingers. I never saw that before. Good one.
